I played Urgoz alot this weekend, and one thing that perplexed me about it is the amount of people wanting to PUG in HM... What is up with that???

With guidlies, alliance and friends I can get to the end in HM pretty easy and fast, yet when I am PUGing and the grp insist on HM we never make the 2nd room. I am yet to find a PUG that can get anywhere in HM.

So my question is why HM when 90% of the PUGs don't make ait far enough to get the benefit of HM and the nice chest drops?

I can get a PUG in NM and clear Urgoz in 2-3 hours (depending) and then get a PUG in HM and spend the same amount of time trying to clear room 1 with all the leavers and resigners and what not.

So I wanna ask you guys what you think is better...

1. The potential for getting to the good drops in HM
2. The guarentee of getting to the end in NM

They want the double rewards at the end, simple as.

Yeah I know they do... but how often does anyone get the right PUG and make it to the end in HM? My regular group can get there all the time with limited issues along the way, but i have NEVER found a PUG that can. I couldn't get my whole group all the time so I PUGed a bit and man what a pain... So I started forming my own PUG and advertised NM only, got a full grp and as we get in the one ele says; "NM? Soz, thought it was HM" and left, IN URGOZ already... lol...

Same reason why people buy the lottery. Most of the time you don't get anything but people still do it...

LOL...

Just a bit of FYI, we went in with a PUG last night and wiped twice in HM at the beginning... Same group made the end in 2 hours flat in NM (That was including about a 30 minute lay-over for bad lag last night)

I prefer doing it in NM with my guild, we've done it in HM in about 3hr20minutes, but our best time in NM is 1hr41 minutes, thats better for me on a night where you still want to do some other things afterwards

btw, both modes were with 4 human players and 8 heroes
